Presents a flat-ground-friendly approach that treats the back 360 like a tre flip scoop rather than a pivot, keeping the back foot glued to the tail with toes hanging off the edge so it can guide the board through an inverted, not flat, rotation. Uses Trevor Colden as a visual reference for how the scoop looks with more hang time.
Key tips
- Set your feet up almost like you're about to tre flip, back foot toes hanging well off the tail edge
- Wind your shoulders up hard before popping, twisting like you would for a tre flip or 360 shove
- Scoop the tail fast with your back foot rather than trying to pivot the board around
- Keep your back foot glued to the board the entire rotation, only the front foot is allowed to come off
- Expect the board path to look almost primo or inverted in the air, not a flat spinning plane, since the back foot is pushing it up and around
- Stay in roughly the same spot in the air instead of jumping several feet out, the trick should happen in place
- If your back foot keeps slipping off, hang the toes farther off the tail so they can push and guide the spin
- Watch pro references like Trevor Colden for how effortless the scoop looks with more hang time on gaps
